Dear all, I've been reading these posts with interest, and as someone who has lived in Tierra Nueva for our full ten years, I'm wondering how any of these lovely neighborhood stories are simply because you live in cohousing? All of the comments I've read could be made about a thriving neighborhood or town or extended family, where folks talk to one another, help each other out and play together well. All of these things are not exclusive to cohousing. I'd like to hear some thoughts about something unique to living specifically in cohousing that couldn't be found in a lively neighborhood or extended family group. In thinking about sustainablility and the real environmental and personal costs of designing, building and eventually living in a brand new bunch of houses, I'm not so convinced it is worth the effort when the same benefits could be found in other arenas of connection and good neighboring. coheartedly, PattyMara Gourley www.pattymara.etsy.com The goal is not to bring your adversaries to their knees but to their senses. -- Mahatma Gandhi
